"Empty-nest" Youth on Rise in China
China has lately witnessed an increase of so-called empty-nest youth, or young people who live alone, which experts believe is a cause for public concern.
Data from the National Bureau of Statistics shows that 12.45 percent of households were inhabited by one person in 2020. The figure in 2015 was 8.3 percent. Specifically, of this "empty-nest" population, solitary young residents are especially common, the Xinhua News Agency reported. The term "empty-nest" was originally applied to elderly people living alone after their children are grown and out of the house.
A report on empty-nest youth found that this group tends to feel lonelier than their peers, and their personal lives are largely confined to their rented apartments. As they typically live far from work to save money on rent, these youth often spend hours commuting, leaving them exhausted in the evenings.
Even so, this population chooses to live in big cities, as they are attracted to the opportunities in such metropolises. Meanwhile, empty-nest youth are more inclined to spend money on better food, high-quality clothes and digital products. Some 21 percent of the group have no savings or are slightly in debt, according to the report, which was conducted by Baidu Waimai and Wacai. com.
The emergence of empty-nest youth is a result of imbalanced social and economic development between big cities and smaller towns. It is also a natural result of China’s ongoing urbanization, Wang Yingmei, an associate professor of psychology at Sichuan University, told Xinhua.
Still, experts warned that the growing size of this group could bring problems, affecting the population’s psychology and marital aspirations. Some recommended that youth get engaged in community activities.

答案
How to Solve the Empty-nest Youth Problem? Due to the developmental imbalance between metropolises and small towns, the number of empty-nest youth whose lonely lives are limited to rented apartments out of various reasons is on rise. Faced with psychological, economic, and marital problems, this group yet spends most of their savings on improving their personal lives. In my opinion, it is an obligation for both the society and empty-nest youth to make efforts to eliminate the potential problems of such a lifestyle. To begin with, mostly new migrants in larger cities, empty-nest youth, many of whom are both financially stretched and emotionally ostracized, wind up marooned in a narrow world lacking in social mobility. To fight against this, they should learn to adjust to life. For example, instead of wasting time in hostile living conditions, they should live a positive life by either improving their professional skills for future promotions or filling their inactive life with various social activities. Moreover, the society should put this risk-ridden group into serious consideration. As the population of this group grows, so will support to give them a hand. To be specific, subsidies of rent and other social security policies should be offered to pull them out of dire impoverishment. Furthermore, community activities should be promoted to help them build close ties with the society. In a word, the daunting number of this large population is more reminiscent of a social problem than a personal one. Both the society and the young involved should try their best before this issue turns into a monster too hard to tame.
解析
本题要求讨论的是“空巢”青年现象。越来越多的年轻人选择在大都市工作打拼,因此造成了空巢青年现象。在具体行文方面,考生可以在第一段简单概述所给材料的内容并提出自己的观点;第二段针对自己的上述观点展开论述,具体要从个人和社会两个方面逻辑鲜明地阐述如何采取措施降低风险,可以用举例法进一步阐述;第三段再次总结自己的观点,并对未来发出警告。
开头部分第一段概括材料中的主要观点,即先概述“空巢”青年现象产生的原因——大都市与小城镇之间发展的不均衡;然后概述 “空巢”青年的特点——由于多种原因宅在出租房内,但却舍得花钱不断改善自己的生活;最后表明自己的观点——社会和当事人自己都应该努力把“空巢”生活方式的风险降到最低。
中间部分从个人和社会两个方面阐述如何采取措施降低风险。个人方面,首先指出“空巢”青年的生存状况,然后指出对于这种不利的状况要从自身角度来调整自己。从社会角度来看,国家应该为解决此问题承担责任:一方面从财政上对“空巢”青年进行补助,另一方面,组织社交活动促进 “空巢”青年与社会建立交往。
结尾部分最后一段总结全文,点明必须从上述两方面来解决这个问题,最后提出警告来强调采取上述措施的急迫性。
